Man Charged With Grilling Alive 8-Week-Old Kitten

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 16) - A Kansas City-area man was charged with felony animal abuse Tuesday after he and several friends allegedly tortured an 8-week-old kitten by roasting the animal alive in an outdoor grill.

Charles Benoit, 24, of Liberty, Missouri, faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine if convicted.

Authorities said the incident occurred July 12, when a group of people cheering and making ''meowing'' noises around an outdoor grill at an apartment complex caught the attention of a neighbor, who decided to investigate.

''They told her they were grilling a cat,'' said Jim Roberts, spokesman for the Clay County prosecutors office, which brought the criminal charges.

The woman was able to retrieve the burned kitten from the coals, but the kitten was so badly injured it could not be saved, Roberts said.

Roberts said it had not been determined if others would be charged.
